Dash My Foot Against A Stone

Today I dash my foot against a stone Because I found that what we had were lies And while the skin peels and the blood runs warm I erase the evidence that I ever tried I should have known it would be like this Rushing things, hurry hurry Investing money, time, and blood None of which I had enough It hurts to walk because of you And while you don't care I really did I dash the other so that your lies Don't invoke off balancing change My footprints leave behind glittering crimson I think that's the color of her hidden eyes Her tongue is silver so I bought in To all the hidden lies The pain I brought myself only serves to nullify Besides, I wouldn't use a blade on myself I'm not worthy of that So says you.
